I've had it a couple of days now, and it is pretty good. And after some adventures in the loft with a new aerial I get the full set of Freeview channels instead of the 16 I'm meant to get.
The GUI is a bit weird in places. The worst thing is that the up/down buttons work the wrong way round. Fitz!

Edit : Oops late to the thread, but here my 2p worth anyway.
Having had Virgin in London with 152Mb BB it was disappointing but not surprising that at the new Scrag Mansion in Devon, we have gone for BT as there is no VM, BT have given us 76Mb BB, 1Tb BT TV box with BT Sport (MotoGP ) and a UHD channel, and landline, somewhere around the £63pm level.
Seems to do what it says on the can.
All working well and Mrs Scrag is getting to grips with it just fine.
Mainly runs off a Freeview aerial based signal.
We have never been big movie channel users so at this point we have no complaints, or feel like we're missing any particular services.Last edited by Scrag Meister; 4 November 2015, 10:57.

There's always NowTV for Sky Sports. I might do this for the F1: £6.99 for the day or £10.99 for a whole week (i.e. the weekend). It's still a lot cheaper than having Sky (and I don't have Sky Sports, just the F1 channel).

Sky seem to be offering 10 quid for the equivalent fiber and it will be 15 quid to BT for the Sport. Without SKY sports.

The only problems I had were when we briefly rented a cottage that had internet that maxed out at about 1/2 a meg on a good day but more usually 50 or 60k then it's internet functionality was a bit wobbly
But since moving to a place with decent download speeds for copper, it's been fine without a hitch

Sky sports bundle currently advertised for £45.50/month, without phone or internet. You found some great 12/month deal?

youview is terrible, my dad has it.
I'm booting BT in a few weeks, my contract is up in January. 43 quid they want for fiber and the sport channels, I can get that for 25 quid at SKY.

Our recent sign-up got us Infinity 1 (40Mb) for £10/month with phone £17.99/month, and free TV using the mini-YouView box (no record). We don't get the extra channels other than BT sport and (I think) AMC.
But I do get £125 sainsbury vouchers from BT and £85 back from the cashback site. And since I got the discount for paying for 12 months line rental up front, I'm pretty happy.

So is this the same as YouView?
Got an email from plusnet with quite a good deal on YouView: £50 for a recorder box and £5pm (or £8pm for HD) for some premium channels that I think I would miss from Sky (SyFy, Eurosport, Comedy Central, FOX, Discovery.. ). So rather than go cold turkey on pay TV this seems quite a good option. Only thing is I don't get the full Freeview here and some of the channels I do get are flakey, but as I have a satellite dish Freesat would be a better option. A Freesat recorder box is £180, but for that price I could have 2 years worth of Youview premium channels...
So what I really want is Youview with a satellite input, which doesn't exist.
Telly is so complicated these days.
